Vivekkv:
If I understood correctly, you have:
- One invoice SmartForm with 1 or more pages.
- When sending to print, on the printout screen, you select "3 copies" for the same layout.
- What you need is 3 diferent texts on each copy (from the same layout) depending of the current number of copy printed.
If that's the issue; what you need to do to get the text printed in a proper way, is:
Draw a new window on the page and give it a name (for example "WINDOW_TEXTINCOPIES") and it's very important that you make sure you select as window type "T - Copy Window" (you can see it on the 1st tab of the window's general properties) -if this option is not selected, the variable "sfsy-copycount" won't increment ever! -Finally, add 3 variable texts on the same window with the text you want to display and add a condition for each one on the "Conditioning tab":
Original for buyer : sfsy-copycount EQ 1
Duplicate for buyer : sfsy-copycount EQ 2
Extra copy : sfsy-copycount EQ 3
Then you got it, it should be working now, I've proved it myself, if you have any question don't hesitate on asking.

STO's output to print 5 copies in output- failing

Hi Gurus!
I have an output type ZSTO .
The set-up is done in such a way that it
should print 5 copies in the output
when sent to the printer.
We had our support packs applied recently and after that
its printing just one copy in the output when
executed.
Could anyone please tell me why is it printing just one copy
instead of 5 copied that it was initially doing before.
If so where should I actually go and check the setup
or in the program to see whats happening.
Thanks

Where do i exactly set up my number of message , as right now I see teh value as 1 agaist it so it means that only one copy is getting printed. I want it to print 5 copies by default , is there a place I need to set it up so that when I print my ZSTO output it should give me 5 copies by default. Please suggest.

I found the issue with my report. I gave the syntax wrong when ending for-each for group. Using Variables no longer gives error and the issue is resolved with syntax as below.
Header Information
<?for-each-group@section: /yyy/LIST_G_xxx/xxx; COPIES?>
<?variable@incontext:G1;current-group()?>
<?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,current-group()/COPIES,1)?>
<?end for-each?>
<?end for-each-group?>
<?start:body?>
Here goes the body
<?start:last-page:body?> <?end body?>
I inserted a page break here through word tools
Here goes special instructions which only prints on last page
<?end body?>
But... I am still working on a related issue to print the Copy Number on the Header. For example if the Copy being printed is 1 it should print Set#1 on header, for 2nd Copy Set#2 and etc.
I saw in some post that the variable can not be used out of Loop. Can someone help how to accomplish this.
TIA

Need four copies of a form

Hi,
Please guide me about the following query:
I have designed a form to print certain data.
Now user wants whenever he give a print command for this form, it should always print four copies of the form with four differnt text e.g. Copy of Vendor, Copy of Deptt. etc.
Please guide me about how to achieve this goal.
Thanks and Regards

It seems that you didn't search a lot before posting! So you want to know everything and you don't even have any clue to start with?
sapscript, or smart form?
is that a standard transaction which triggers the form, and which one?
There are 2 points to discuss:
1) some standard applications let the copy count be customized/entered, and is passed directly to your script. Or hardcode yourself the number of copies in your program. see [SDN wiki - Copies (duplicate, etc.)|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Copies%28duplicate%2Cetc.%29]
2) how to make the copies vary. It's what Sarves answered.

Output Device prints 3 copies of each print out

Hi Frnds,
We are facing a problem with the output device.
When we try to print anything from SAP to an out put device, it gives us 3 copies of same printout.
We tried with smartforms, sap scripts and even a normal print request from the anywhere in SAP. For the particular output device it gives 3 printouts.
That output device is configured to a particular printer here in the user location.
We have also tried couple of other things,
Made that particulrt printer as the default one in our operating system (Windows) and printed using LOCL output device. It printed only one copy.
Made other printer as the default in Windows and then print using LOCL output device, now again it printed only one copy, to another printer.
Since it prints 3 copies of the same thing from anywhere in SAP with this op device, We think that there is no problem in Print programs or in Output condition configurations.
The spool that gets generated out of this request says "No. of copies" 1.
Not really sure where its going wrong. We think the problem is somewhere in Basis settings.
If any one has faced this kind of issue can u please let me know how we can rectify this?
Regards,
Karthick C

Hello,
Are you using Access Method G for the output?
If so you can check if the following setting was set:
set use_copies = N (where N = number of copies) in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD
Check the SAP note: 1149136 also.

Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

Hi Gurus!
I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
Please suggest.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards

Print multiple copies of a smartforms in a one spool request

Dear all,
I've a network printer "HP Laserjet 4250" configured with an output accessory "Sheet Stapler/Stacker".
With these accessory all pages of the same spool are stapled together.
For transaction VL02N we would print n copies of the same delivery using smartforms in this printer, so all copies will be stapled.
The problem is that in SPAD Copy Counter options if we set the choice "Pass copy counter to the host spool system" only one copy is printed;
it seems that copy counter parameters has no effects.
If we set the choice "Pass copies as separate Output Requests", the spool system will send a separate print request for each copy of a document to be printed; but with this option multiple copies are not stapled since they belong to different spool.
SAP System is ERP 6.0 EHP5 based on windows /SQL 2008 and the last kernel patch.
Any idea to solve the problem ?
Thanks
Maurizio Manera

Hello,
By default the number of copies is transferred to the OS host spooler
and handled by it.
The flag to pass copies is set in the Output Device definition via
transaction SPAD as follows:
SPAD -> Output Device -> <Output Device name> -> Output Attributes ->
'Pass Copy Counter to Host Spool System'
Can you please change this flag to:
'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)'

How to print 4 copies of smart from in a single print

Dear All,
i have one smartform. i have attached my smart form to an output type. if i am printing through that output type, it has to print 4 copies of smartform. Hoe to do this?
i have 6 windows in my smart from in different different place. i have used main window for my table data inthe middle of the smart from.
How can i print 4 copies of smart from in a single print ?
Thanks In advance.

Hi Vishnu,
I hope you have used a print program which will be triggered from the output type.   In your print program where you are calling your smartform, just include that piece of code inside DO 4 times.
                                                                                ........... Write the code here to call your smartform.
                                                                                ENDDO.
I hope by doing this you will be able to achieve your requirement.

Printing 4 copies with different header in smartform

Hi Friends,
I am printing Delivery Note using smartforms, for that i created form by coping SAP`s standard form LE_SHP_DELNOTE with some layout changes.
Its workin fine., but now user wants that it should print 4 copies of that form with different header, like
CUSTOMER COPY, WAREHOUSE COPY, GATE COPY, OFFICE COPY
This is usually done in other companies on carbonated papers, but they want this to print on normal paper.
Please suggest is it possible, if yes how should i do it...

Create a secondary window.Select Window type as u201CCopies Windowu201D.The variable SFSY-COPYCOUNT would provide us count of the copy whether it is a first copy, second copy and others. We would use this field to print the owner of the copy.We would define a string, which would hold the name of the copy (bank copy and others) depending on the value of SFSY-COPYCOUNT. Define a variable in the global definition.
Now select your Copies window, right click u2013 Select Create à Flow Logic à Program Lines
The output parameter is W_TEXT.
IF SFSY-COPYCOUNT = 001.
W_TEXT = 'Original'.
ELSEIF SFSY-COPYCOUNT = 002.
W_TEXT = 'Duplicate'.
ELSEIF SFSY-COPYCOUNT = 003.
W_TEXT = 'Tripilicate'.
ENDIF.

Can you print four months to a page in iCal?

Can you print four months to a page in iCal?

Yes.
From any application you can print multiple pages on a single page. In the Print Dialog click on Copies & Pages to open up the drop down menu, then select Layout.
iCal defaults to one month per page, so select the 4 pages to a page Layout to get what you want.
Does that answer your question?

Printing multiple copies per page, not multiple pages per sheet

How can I print multiple copies of page per sheet of paper?
I've got an image or PDF that I'd like to print 4 or more of per sheet of paper. But it can easily fit on one sheet. When I choose to print 4 copies and in the Layout section choose 4 copies per page what I get is for pages printed out with the image scaled down to a quarter of a page.
What I'd like is the one image scaled down and printed 4 times on a single piece of paper.

I don't completely believe that this is completely
due to the drivers from the printer manufacturer.
Nor did I say that it is. The software from which the doc is being printed is
even more important re page layout options.
Your statement of "It is a function of the printer driver..." is what led to that misunderstanding.
I completely agree that the idea of 'print to PDF' is misleading and that I was mislead that all the print dialog options (like the quartz filters that do work in outputting to PDF and the # of copies that do not) should apply to creating PDF files using the print dialogue. It now says 'save to PDF' in 10.4 instead of 'output' or 'print'. I think some of my confusion is carrying over from UI decisions in 10.3.
Obviously it wasn't designed to work this exact way
or it would work this exact way.
I have no idea what this statement means.
It's stating the obvious in reply to your statement of the obvious ("the feature you are trying to use isn't designed to work that way."). If it were designed to work in the manner that I was wanting it perform I would have never posted a question about it.
You can say it's not commonly done and that would
apply to anything other than printing off one full
sized copy of any single page. Using Quartz filters
isn't "commonly done" but it's available.
Not true... mailing labels, multipage spreads, thumbnails, reductions/
enlargements, ad infinitum are far more frequently done than printing
the same content on the same sheet multiple times. As I said, however,
there are provisions for doing so when the need arises.
You missed the point. Functionality is presented that is far less utilized than what I was desiring to do on this platform/set of applications as compared to other platforms/sets of applications. This is why I specifically mentioned the quartz filtering. I have personally met only one other person who uses quartz filtering yet I know over a dozen that want to print in the manner I originally posted about.
I'm sure you have seen such results & I have done
the exact same type of output hundreds of times on
both Windows & Mac platforms as well as others...
but not in the manner you are attempting to get it
done. As you've found out, that just doesn't work.
And I've seen it performed in the manner I was attempting, furthering the frustration.
In any program you typically do specify page layout
before number of copies... in fact, that is the cruxt of the
issue. But getting the same content to repeat on a single
page is not a matter of page layout and is not a function
of the print operation unless you're dealing with commercial
devices.
I guess I've just been spoiled by those big office Xerox machines. I never thought of that functionality being at all special in any way.
Thank you for the assistance.

Functionality in SAP to allow you to print multiple copies of a form

I've been asked by a SD functional team member how to:
This is the table and field names for Number of Messages functionality in SAP which should allow you to print multiple copies of a form at one time.
Program Name:SAPMV13B
Screen #:0211
Transparent Table: NACH
Field Name: ANZAL
Data Element: NA_ANZAL
How do I go about setting up this functionalilty?
Thanks,
Laurie

Hi Laurie,
   There are three possible ways -
   1. Predefined number of copies - You can define number of copies in the print parameters while creating condition record. Ask you functional team member how they are setting up condition records. You have an option to setup print parameters on condition record screen. This is the only option if you are using output determination.
   2. If you have an isolated print program then you can choose to let user enter print parameters by using parameter " DIALOG = ' ' " in "open_form".
   3. If you have an isolated print program and do not want to let user control other print parameters you can take input from user ( or hard code ) number of copies and use that in parameter " OPTIONS " in "open_form".
Cheers,
Sanjeev

Printer issue - could not print multiple copies

Hello Gurus,
Good day!
We not able to print multiple copies (2 or more) in SAP level but we were able to print multiples copies using non SAP applications (i.e word, excel).
I already checked in UNIX level and I dont see any stuck spools.
Can you please help me on how can I resolve this issue.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi,
In order to get multiple copies of prints from SAP you need to make following configuration.
go to SPAD
select the printer, from which you need to get multiple copies of prints.
Double click on it,
Now you will see the details of the printer with tabs like
Device Attributes , Access method , output attributes , Tray Info.
now select output attributes
there you will see Copy Counter with drop down selection. in that select
PASS COPIES AS SEPARATE OUTPUT REQUEST(IN SAP SYSTEM)
Please let us knwo if you have any other issues,
Regards,
Ravi

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.

My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back .

Laserjet 1020 Won't Print Multiple Copies

I have a Laserjet 1020. OS is Windows 7, 64x. If I give a command to print any document multiple times, it will only print it once. So, if the document is 1 page and I need 5 copies, it will print that one page one time. If the document is 4 pages and I need 5 copies, it will print the four pages of the document, but only once. So, the issue is with multiple *copies*, not multiple *pages*. I have tried the simple stuff (turning the computer on and off; checking for updates; removing the printer and completely reinstalling it; etc.). Nothing works. I did see elsewhere somebody say that if you go to start; devices/printers; right click printer; and hit DEVICE SETTINGS tab, then you can change this "MOPIER" mode thing. But that is the problem... THERE IS NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB. No, I am not crazy. It isn't there. So, the problem with that fix, which appeared to work for others in the HP Forum, won't work for me because there is NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB. So... How do I fix this? Why don't I have a device settings tab? Help! :-)

Hi jnickelsen,
I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
What drivers are you using?
Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.
Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
